This is probably true. A decaying part in the water heater is different
from sediment/minerals in the water heater. There was some bad heaters
released perhaps 15 years ago that had a part that would decay and clogg
stuff. If this is what they are saying you got, its time to replace the
water heater.

Otherwise you can try this.

Turn off the water to the heater. Drain the heater. Refill the heater.
Repeat a few times. And from here on at least once or twice per year
(even with a brand new heater).
